Yes, I know school was bad... back when I was there.

No, it is worse than that!
Not just a little bit worse, a lot worse.
As in you used to be able to say that the children who went their learned some facts. Now, everything they teach is false, and will have to be unlearned.

As well as destroying childhood genius, leadership, self-esteem, communication, trust, innovation, free thinking, logic, reasoning...

If there was an honest court in this land, the schools could be sued for child abuse.
